Botija is one of the 19 towns on the Montánchez Ham Route, the region in which it is located. If you are following the route, this town is well worth a stop to enjoy some DO Dehesa de Extremadura ham in a different setting.

In Botija you can also take a walk through the common pasture where the townsfolk graze their livestock, taking full advantage of the acorns when they are in season.
